I ir<> Burns Three Tenement Houses Belonging to Mr. Burton \N ulsli. a flre originating a little before 10 o'clock Sunday night burned three i negro tenement houses In the ex treme southern section of the city, causing a loss of ahout $1,SUU. The houses ail belonged to Mr. Bartow Walsh, and were occupied by Prank W. Wilia.ms, Anna Barno, and Mary McRae, respectvlvely. The tire started In tin' kitchen of i the house occupied by Prank Wil? liams ami spread to the other houses. Although the alarm was sent In to the lire department soon after the tire started it was some time before the hose wagon reached the place. This was due to the fact that the | collar to one set of the harness came unfastened several times during the run and the wagon had to be stop? ped to have it refastened. The steam? er started out but did ont get far for a collar broke and the men on the engine had to wait patiently while the harness was being repaired. The pressure from the tank was very slight and the stream of water was hardly thrown to the top of the house next in the line of the lire. At this the house was a small one-Story building. The firemen did, however, prevent the tire from going on to the fourth house ard after the engine finally reached the scene, which was after most of the fire had burned itself out, a good stream was forced through the hose on the fire which was 3ocn extinguished. The three houses burned were val? ued at $600 each and were insured for $400 each. In the Magistrate's Court.
